Superstar Growth Handbook

The next day, Xia Chen still woke up early to accompany Lu Yaoyang to the exam. After Lu Yaoyang finished the last subject, Xia Chen hurried to the company.

Although Lu Yaoyang was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to watch Xia Chen leave.

When Xia Chen arrived at the company, it was already past five o'clock, and everyone in the building was about to leave work, but Xia Chen was still rushing upstairs.

When we arrived at the practice room, Tao Xingzhi had already started practicing there.

"Brother Tao." Xia Chen looked at Tao Xingzhi.

Tao Xingzhi raised his head, looked at Xia Chen, then handed the sheet music to Xia Chen, and said, "Look."

Xia Chen nodded, and took the score, which was full of tadpole-like musical symbols. Although the teacher taught it, Xia Chen was still quite unfamiliar with it.

Seeing Xia Chen's expression, Tao Xingzhi smiled, "I just got this song too, so I have to learn it slowly."

Xia Chen listened and nodded, "Yes."

Tao Xingzhi said again: "Then let's start. Sit down and I will teach you how to play the piano."

Xia Chen sat next to Tao Xingzhi, and smiled mischievously at Tao Xingzhi, "Teacher Tao."

Tao Xingzhi smiled, and the smile on his face gradually faded, "We must start studying seriously."

Xia Chen was infected by Tao Xingzhi's earnestness, so he put away the smile on his face, sat upright, and said, "Okay, I will study hard."

Tao Xingzhi nodded and said, "To learn something, you have to understand it. Just like a piano, you need to know that it has 88 keys, 52 white keys, 36 black keys, and 24 scales. You have to go first. Only by understanding it can we learn him.

However, it is impossible to turn you into a piano master in just over a month, but it is still possible to pretend to deceive the audience.So in this more than a month, you must not only practice this piece until you know it well, but you must also be a pianist with professional quality. This must first be learned from your sitting posture and hand posture. up, you see. "

Tao Xingzhi raised one hand and put it on the keys. "Pay special attention to the shape of the hand. The shape of the hand is basically like holding an egg, and the arms and shoulders are in a state of natural relaxation. Especially pay attention not to move the arms and wrists." Use force, the wrist should not be lower than the height of the fingers, and keep the palm, wrist and elbow at the same height.

The correct place to touch the keyboard should be the belly of the finger. Pay attention to the fact that each joint of the finger should not be sunken, but should always keep the curved shape of the finger.

When playing the keyboard with your fingers, you should only pay attention to the fingers.Keep each finger playing independently, that is to say, each finger should be able to lift independently, hit the keyboard hard, and return to its original position.

Another thing to pay attention to is the sitting posture.When playing the piano, sit up straight, do not hunch your back, shrug your shoulders, etc.For example, when playing some large-scale pieces, when a lot of strength is required, the whole body is leaned forward, and the strength of the whole body is concentrated, pressing on the fingers to hit the keyboard, instead of using the strength of the arms, shoulders and other positions. "

After finishing speaking, Tao Xingzhi looked at Xia Chen, "Sit down and let me have a look."

Xia Chen nodded, and straightened his posture according to what Tao Xingzhi said just now.

Tao Xingzhi stood up, looked at it, and patted Xia Chen's arm, "It's too stiff, you need to relax, but your posture is correct, and you must keep it like this when playing the piano. There is more."

Tao Xingzhi took out a book and handed it to Xia Chen, "This is Byer's "Basic Piano Tutorial", which is suitable for beginners. It mainly teaches you how to learn to play the piano with the weight of your arms and how to support the weight of your arms with your fingers. Run Basic five-tone position hand training and preliminary learning of scales, arpeggios, and broken chords. Watch more and practice more."

Tao Xingzhi, who was teaching Xia Chen to play the piano, became very serious, and his face no longer had a faint expression. It could be seen that Tao Xingzhi was very hardworking and sincerely loved the piano.

Tao Xingzhi sat down, turned his head to Xia Chen and said, "I'll play it again, and you stand by and listen carefully."

Xia Chen nodded and looked at Tao Xingzhi seriously.

After Tao Xingzhi sat down, he adjusted the chair first, and then sat up straight, "When you sit down, you have to feel whether the height is comfortable for you, adjust the chair to the position you are comfortable with, and then start playing." After speaking, Tao Xingzhi put his hands on the keys.

Xia Chen carefully observed every movement of Tao Xingzhi, including the posture of his hands and the posture of the whole person.I found that Tao Xingzhi was very relaxed when he was sitting in front of the piano, like a fish back in the water, free and at ease.And it is a very beautiful and graceful fish in the water.

Tao Xingzhi's fingers were slender and fair, slender but powerful. When they were placed on the keys, the posture was so beautiful that even Xia Chen, who didn't feel much about his opponent, felt a little moved when he saw it.

"Duo--"

Tao Xingzhi pressed the first key, and the clear and simple sound immediately attracted Xia Chen's attention, making people's hearts tremble.Immediately afterwards, the brisk and beautiful prelude sounded, so smooth that it could not be heard that it was the first performance.

Tao Xingzhi hummed the tune softly while playing it. The soft tune mixed with the crisp piano sound was so harmonious that one couldn't help but be intoxicated by it.

After the song was over, Xia Chen was still immersed in it, unable to extricate herself, and her heart was full of shock.

This is the first time he has felt the impact of music so directly, it is so strong and shocking.

Tao Xingzhi looked at Xia Chen and smiled faintly: "How is it?"

Xia Chen took a deep breath and couldn't hide his excitement: "It's shocking! It's amazing! It's great!"

Tao Xingzhi smiled, "You can do it too, as long as you put your heart into it, you have the talent and the strength."

Xia Chen was still a little immersed in the music, unable to recover for a long time, "One day, I will also play this kind of shocking music!"

Tao Xingzhi nodded, "I believe in you."

Then, Tao Xingzhi began to teach Xia Chen how to play the piano. Until after eight o'clock, Tao Xingzhi's assistant walked in and whispered something in Tao Xingzhi's ear. Tao Xingzhi was about to leave, but before leaving , I still did not forget to tell Xia Chen: "When you don't usually practice the piano, you'd better listen to more piano music. Playing the piano is not only about hand skills, but also comprehension, ear sensitivity, etc. They all have a great effect on piano playing. Therefore, it is very beneficial to listen to more piano music at ordinary times, and pay more attention to the subtle differences in playing strength, skipping notes and consecutive sentences when practicing. "

Xia Chen nodded, "Yes!"

Tao Xingzhi nodded and waved his hand: "I'm leaving first. You should read more books, listen to music and practice on your own recently." After Tao Xingzhi said, the assistant left.

After Tao Xingzhi left, Xia Chen stayed and practiced alone for a while before leaving.

It was nearly ten o'clock when I got home.

Xia Chen was a little apprehensive. Although he told his eldest brother yesterday that he would return home late, his attitude was very firm. He returned home before 09:30, but it was almost ten o'clock now, so he didn't know if his eldest brother would be angry.

Xia Chen walked into the room feeling uneasy.

In the room, Xia Kui had already come back, sitting on the sofa and watching the evening news, she didn't seem to be angry when she saw Xia Chen coming back, she raised her head to look at Xia Chen, and said lightly: "I'm back, I asked Mama Song to heat up the dishes Let's go eat."

It was good that Xia Kui didn't mention it, but after mentioning it, Xia Chen remembered that he hadn't eaten yet, and his stomach was already empty.So Xia Chen walked up to Xia Kui and said with a flattering smile, "Brother, I'm going to eat."

Xia Kui nodded, continued to watch the news, and said calmly, "Go."

Xia Chen finally calmed down, touched her flat stomach and went to the dining room to eat.

After eating, Xia Chen walked slowly to the living room, sat beside Xia Kui, dawdled for a long time and said, "Brother, are you not angry?"

Xia Kui raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Chen, "My brother is getting older, it's normal to be disobedient."

After hearing this, Xia Chen hurriedly said, "Brother! I'm not just playing, I'm really serious about practicing."

Seeing that Xia Chen was in a hurry, Xia Kui smiled, rubbed Xia Chen's hair, and said, "I was just kidding you."

Only then did Xia Chen come to his senses, and stared at Xia Kui, "Brother!"

Xia Kui smiled, stood up, and said to Xia Chen, "Come with me."

Xia Chen was puzzled, and followed Xia Kui, "What are you going to do?"

Xia Kui smiled and said nothing, walked to the next door to Xia Chen's bedroom on the second floor, and said, "Open it and have a look."

Xia Chen was puzzled, and pushed it away and said, "This is not Dad's book..." Before Xia Kui could say the last two words, she was shocked by the scene in front of her.

The original study room has now become a piano room, with a very beautiful stereo piano in the middle. Under the light, the black body of the piano reflects a beautiful luster.And the walls have also been changed into soundproof walls, so it doesn't matter even if Xia Chen practices until late at night.

"Big brother."

Xia Chen looked back at Xia Kui with surprise and joy.

Xia Kui smiled slightly and rubbed Xia Chen's head, "Come back early in the future, and you can practice piano at home."

Xia Chen threw herself into Xia Kui's arms, her eyes filled with tears, she acted coquettishly and complained: "What, you don't talk to me just because you want to see me cry when moved!"

Xia Kui smiled and hugged Xia Chen, "You've peed on me before, are you still afraid of crying in front of me?"

Xia Chen patted Xia Kui's shoulder lightly, and said, "Stop talking about things like this when you were young!"

Xia Kui laughed out loud, patted Xia Chen on the back, and comforted him, "Okay, okay, don't say anything."

After a while, Xia Chen came out of Xia Kui's arms. His emotions had stabilized, but his eyes were still a little red, "Thank you, brother."

Xia Kui put his hand on Xia Chen's face and wiped away his tears, "You are my younger brother."

Xia Chen nodded vigorously, raised a bright smile, "Yeah!"

You are also my brother, forever good brother.
